According to northwestgeorgianews.com, Rockmart High School softball head coach Lindsey Campbell and the rest of the team, the Lady Jackets, were able to give back to the youth in the community via holding an annual Future Jacket Softball Camp. When speaking about the reasoning behind the camp, Campbell is quoted in saying that, “I think holding these youth camps where the campers get to have fun while learning is important because it keeps them engaged and interested in the sport, and they also get to learn from the high school girls as well, and I think that helps set the dream of one day playing on the same field as the current players.” Around 35 girls ended up attending the camp, which was held from June 28th- June 30th at Rockmart High School, located in Northwest Georgia. At the camp girls were partnered with throwing partners and worked on skills such as, throwing and hitting different targets, taking deep angles while going for fly balls, how to communicate on defense, and how to make tags at the bag. The camp concluded with a fun activity, where the girls got to hit their throwing partners with water balloons and practiced their diving skills with a slip and slide.
